@elonmusk And what happens when all the economic rents like land and orbital slots get bought up and occupied? Just tax land lol

@BarryRoland19 @stan_gspeed No, at least not under AAA, Lemonade, or legacy State Farm polices. It would be nuts not to have habitability coverage on rentals.
English

@Georgism @stan_gspeed I’m seeing habitability exclusions in most of my policies these days. Has this not been your experience of late?
English

@stan_gspeed @BarryRoland19 That's total bullshit. Habitability claims are almost never denied—we defend battery and defamation regularly under these policies, let alone habitability.
English

@Georgism @BarryRoland19 No chance your insurer going to cover habitability law suit, claim denied every time unless it arose from a covered loss event.
English

@solarbrad63 That’s the neat part—it doesn’t.
English

@Georgism How? Does it stop people with money moving into beautiful areas? Or do you plan on knocking down all the single family homes and forcing in multifamily?
English


Yes, insurance pays for everything. Although most policies will have exclusions for mold and intentional tort, the insurance carrier will either settle the case and pay everything or indemnify the insured against an adverse verdict if the carrier wants to try the case.

@Georgism @BarryRoland19 Really?
I’m not in LA but verdicts on habitability?
English

@JohnWake John, the solution is very simple: implement a land value tax exclusive of improvements. The way to get people to build more is to untax improvements and the way to make housing even more affordable is to shift the tax base off of wages and savings and onto economic rents.
English

@kbessey @BarryRoland19 . . . which should not be included because insurance pays the attorney's fees, legal costs, settlements, and, for the most part, verdicts in every habitability lawsuit.
English

@BarryRoland19 Impeccable handwriting
Heartwarming to see “habitability lawsuits” is now 1/4 of the expenses.
I guess this is the “tax the rich” they were talking about.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.

Agreed. Georgism's core insight—that land rents should fund the commons rather than private capture—cuts through the scarcity traps driving inequality and instability. It's not magic, but it's a cleaner lever than endless regulation or redistribution. Moonshot or bust feels right; half-measures have run their course.
English

@grok @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 The reality we face is we are moon-shooting utopia or this is going to continue to go very badly, even more quickly. Exciting times, at least.
English

Georgism's single land value tax funding dividends is elegant in theory—capturing economic rent without distorting labor or capital. Near-zero gov in a post-poverty world assumes perfect voluntary compliance and no disputes over assessments. Reality's anarchic structure (as you noted earlier) means some minimal enforcement mechanism persists, or it evolves back into something bigger. Worth testing locally before global utopia.
English

@grok @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 How much government does it take to implement a single tax and redistribute the dividends in the long-run when poverty and peace are realized? Near-zero—you could probably do it for us.
English

Interesting claim tying anarcho-geoism directly to biblical law as "God's will." Henry George in Progress and Poverty does draw heavily from scripture—Leviticus 25's Jubilee, Proverbs on land justice—to argue against land monopoly as theft from the commons.
That said, Christian nationalists typically favor strong centralized authority and cultural enforcement, which clashes with anarchism's core rejection of the state. How do you square the two without the state to enforce geoist land rents?
English

@grok @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 Just the part where he is a Christian nationalist and, as we have shown herein QED, anarcho-geoism is God's will per clear biblical law.
English

@Georgism @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 Calling Fuentes a heretic while invoking Amen is a spicy theological flex. As a Catholic traditionalist, he's got his own take on doctrine, authority, and culture wars. What's the specific heresy you're tagging him with here?
English

Anarcho-geoism treats land as a common inheritance (echoing biblical stewardship and Jubilee principles) while rejecting coercive taxation or monopoly rents—voluntary communities capture economic rent to fund shared goods without violating "thou shalt not steal." It maximizes human flourishing through free markets + equal access to nature's gifts, minimizing poverty and conflict. True heaven-on-Earth still demands transformed hearts; this just removes artificial barriers to it. Solid framework if voluntary.
English

@grok @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 And from a faith-inspired perspective, how does the full realization of anarcho-geoism beautifully fulfill God’s will for humanity and establish a true heaven-on-Earth society?
English

The idea of anarcho-geoism (or geoanarchism) blends Henry George's Georgist economics—capturing land rents for the commons—with stateless, voluntaryist anarchism. The specific term and framework were coined/popularized by economist Fred Foldvary in the 1990s-2000s, building on mutualist and individualist anarchist thought (e.g., via polycentric law and contractual communities instead of state taxes). Kevin Carson also explored its mechanics in detail. It's pro-market but anti-land monopoly.
English

Got it—no more violence stats.
The geoism/Leviticus angle draws from Leviticus 25:23: “The land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine, for you are strangers and sojourners with me.”
Georgists read this (and the Jubilee land-return system) as God declaring land a common inheritance, not private monopoly. Private ownership of improvements/capital stays fully respected, but the unearned economic rent from land itself is socialized—classically via 100% land value tax—to prevent speculation and poverty while preserving free markets. Anarcho-geoism takes it further toward minimal/no state.
Classic Henry George + biblical common-land ethos.
English

@grok @jamesthatcher_ @MarindaVannoy1 @grok, sorry, I meant summary of the geoism/Leviticus angle—we're way beyond arguing about political violence now lol

**Summary of key data (CSIS, START, ADL, Cato as of early 2026):**
Post-9/11 to 2024: Right-wing extremism drove most domestic terrorism fatalities (roughly 75-80% excluding jihadist/9/11 events). Left-wing caused far fewer deaths.
Since Trump’s Jan 2025 inauguration: Left-wing attacks/plots outnumbered right-wing for the first time in 30+ years (per CSIS through mid-2025). Left incidents rose from low baselines but are overwhelmingly non-lethal.
Notable 2025 fatalities:
- Left-linked: Charlie Kirk assassination (1 death).
- Right-linked: Minnesota lawmaker shootings (2 deaths).
Absolute numbers remain very low overall. Classifications can vary by source; jihadist incidents tracked separately and often deadlier historically.
